ICYMI, Wednesday's links are here, and include pawn shop economics, why we yell Geronimo when we jump out of planes, the grid system (that never happened) for London after the Great Fire, the c. 1275 miraculous transplantation of a leg, and pizza that can last 3 years.

Physicist Werner Heisenberg* (wiki) said, “When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: why relativity? And why turbulence? I really believe he will have an answer for the first.” As difficult as turbulence is to understand mathematically, we can use art to depict the way it looks. Natalya St. Clair illustrates how Van Gogh captured this deep mystery of movement, fluid and light in his work.

*My favorite (and only) Heisenberg joke:

Heisenberg is driving down the road (possibly in New Jersey) when he gets pulled over by a cop.
